The final decillo en the ones tien of suffrage for the District of fColumbia will not be made by the Senate District Committee until De ecmber at the earliest. Senator Ball does not intend to being the question before the com mittee until the regular session of Congress. He does not believe the seesent hearings being held are bringing out all the issues and all the facts in the question. The hearings will elose Friday. when the ati-muffragists will have two hours in which to cloe their case. Amend Present Measure. -The Poindexter measure, providing for 1)istrlct delegates in the House af Representatives will be radically amended if it should be accepted as a wierking basis for a suffrage plan by the District Committee. It is frobleb the House District Commit wil be sounded as to its atti tude before any action is taken. Local interests, opposed to suffrage are now of so nebulous a character that they have requested Chairman hall. of the District Committee, for additional time to complete their rgan tlet.. At the hearing 'yesterday a spokes man for the opponents of suffrage, 0. W. Ayres, was forced to admit under interrogation by Senator Wesley Jones and others, that he knew of no organization opposition to suffrage in Washington and that he was merely speaking for a "great number of citizens" whose names he could not give. Senator Ball is inclined to believe that 'thre is substantial opposition in Washington to changing the pres ent foam of District government, but he wants to be sure of his facts be fore he proceeds further. Le d Pieads Case. Former Congressman James T. Lloyd of Missouri was the chief speaker before the Senate committee yesterddy In fator of suffrage. He represented the Chamber of Com mteree and other civic organisaton. and affirmed his beMef that not only should the District of Columbia have a delegate In Congress. but should also be permitted to choose Prsid=tUi electors. He made an extended state meat before the committee and sum marised the case In favor of suffrage. The political evils and corruption which was alleged to exist in Wash iagton. prim' to the passage of the or ganic act of 1379, was emphasised by 0. W. Ayres as the strongest reason why an electorsl system should not be revived in the city. Charges made by John A. Baker, of 1619 H street northwest, to the effect that the present propaganda in favor of suffrage was being engineered by District citisens anxious for political preferment were placed before the committee.

Submitted at White Mouse Tomorrow. With members of the Anthony League, opponents of capital .punish. ment, urging upon Congress to speed Ily enact a law prohibiting exeoutions in the District, It Is a matter of specu. lation today whether the tour con victed slayers confined In cells on murderers' row at the jail will pay the death penalty for their crimes as een tenoed by judges of the criminal di visions of the District Supreme Court. Pending action on the bill by Con gress. President Harding will be asked tomorrow to either grant a reprieve or commute the death sentodoe of John McHenry, twenty-two years old, who has been sentenced to hang on the gllows at the District jail nest Fri. Members of the league will also make similar requests of the President in the cases of Z. S. Wan, Chinese stu dent, and Charles Price, olored, sen tenced to be hanged on December 9. and that of Edgar Randolph Perrygo. sentenced to be executed on Novem ber 25. Denied New Tri. The District Court of Appeals has denied new trials to both McHenry and Price and unless President Hard ing steps in and either grants a re prieve or commhutes the death sen tences of the two slayers to life im prisonment, they in all likelihood will be hanged on the days set by the court. e cases of Perrygo and Wan are still in the hands of the Court of Ap peals, their lawyers having made motions for new trials for the con victed slayers. McHenry. who shot and killed De tective Sergeant James E. Armstrong after he had shot to death Wallace W. Mulcare, automobile accessories deal er, shows no weakening of nerve de spite the fact he is on the brink of death. He still maintains the stolid demeanor which, he manifested throughout his ti a1. He has stated that he would rather die on the gal lows than remain a prisoner the, rest of his life. But his lawyers, Sarnue McComas Hawken and George F. Ha veil, believe the slayer to be of a weak and degenerate mind, and are trying to save him from the gallows. Wan Fears Death. Wan, the Chinese student, is quite the opposite in temperament. He was convicted and sentenced to be exe cuted for the killing of Dr. Theodore T. Wong, director of the Chinese Edu cational Mission, and his two aest ants, C. H. Hate and Ben Sen Wu. Wan fears death and his appeals to his lawyer, James A. O'Shea, have Leon pathetic. Perrygo. who is but eighteen years old, also fears death on the gallows. He was convicted of killing Mrs. Mary E. Faithful, the motive for the slaying being to obtain $1,700 which he knew the women had concealed in her home. Price also has a horror of the gallows. He shot and killed another negro. It is the aim of the Anthony League to first have Congress peas a bill opposing capital punishment In the District. With this accomplished, their aim is to have a national law against executions. CHINESE LAUD PRESS FOR FAIRNESS AT ARMS MEET Y. S. Temo, Chinese charge d'at faires to Denmark and director at the press hureau of the Chinese dlega tion, at a dinner given to the press men at the Washington Hotel last night, issued the following statement: "The Chinese delegation is greatly pleased with the spirit of fairness and the high moral tone which have char acterized the opening of the confer ence at the Continental Hall. If the great problems can be solved during this conference in this spirit, China has much to expect from the confer ence. "From the people and the press of the country. we renew our faith and confidence in the American Republic. for we read everywhere that the doc trine of open door and the maint. nance of political independence and territorial integrity of China are rooted deep in your history. On the other hand, opportunity for free de velopment under the guarantee of na tional security is the slogan of China. The Chinese delegation faces the Issue with confidence and hope."

JUVENILE CLINIC BEATEN ON GROUNDS OF ECONOMY Efforts to establish a clinic, at tached to the District juvenile court. under the administration of Judge Katheryn Sellers, were defeated in the House yesterday by opponents of the Undraill bill, on grounds of economy. Vote to kill the measure was 12 to 62. Chairman Madden, of the House Appropriation Committee, led the fight against the measure, declaring that It was a useless piece of extrava gance at a time when economy was the watchword of the administration. "The power conferred on the judge of the juvenile court would be unlim ited and nobody knows where the ex pense would end." Madden declared. GAS FEEDER REPAIRED; CHEVY CHASE EASY AGAIN With the removal of 510 gallons of water from thegas main at Chevy Chase, residents that suburb to day are able to boll water and fry eggs again in jig time.

The mat ter was taken up at the last meeting of the Citisens' Association of Chevy Chase. When wcr en from the gas com pany in ted. they found the low pressure had been caused by con densation, due to sagging of pipe, in a location where the water main had been laid close to the gas main. 0.

[tavvry C.4tout 1210 C St French Aid In Many Prof. camerlynok, nterprter Has Record of Distinguished Servios as Translator. Reading a letter in French, while telling an American reporter his Im pressloas of the Engl sh language is next to no trouble at all for 'Prof. Camerlynek, but it rather effectively ilustrates what thirty years of study ing the other fellow's collection of words can do to linguistic obstacles. Prof, Camerlynck, language special ist at the University of Paris for many years, is in Washington for the purpose of telling his fellow country men, the French, what the arms con ferenoe is all about. He automatically shuffles the words of one language into another, and for good measure Illustrates his speech with the correct gestures of whatever tongue he speaks. The reporter found the professor at the telegraph desk In the Willard lob by this morning. He was giving a French companion the full shock of a 230 oul-out circuit-the professor, not the reporter. With the rapidity of zero flat the word expert turned to the tele graph operator and gave her instruc tions in English, rverted to diplomatic jargon of the French office, and changed again to understanding of the one-track mind of the news chaser. Speaks Several Tongues. The demonstration the professor unconsciously gave was at least con vincing. Not such an achievement, you may suggest-this alternating In two languages. Possibly. but how many of those who do It can follow through with the accent and gestures corresponding to the respective lan ages, and then go a step further speaking an itional three or four tongues? Prof. Camerlyck has more than his fellows' words. He knows the thought behind the words and he knows their idiomatic usages and, on top of that. not a little about the customs of the country claiming the words as their own. An example? "Would It please you to spell my name correctly, to begin with?" he asked the reporter. 'It has been mis spelled several times already in your country." Just as he was showing his c qualntance with a wekness of Amer lcans in the ntatter of foreign names. he was interrupted by another French companion. "Sksjdmrurgshcntyehetikjams, oui, oui:!" A smile and an au revoir. That ended that. "You will pardon if I read a let ter as I talk to you." hs asked. "You perhaps will inquire concern Ing my general impressions of the American language. Here it is, sil vou plait. The differenoe between your language apd the English, that is the truly Asterican and the Brit ish, is greatly exaggerated. This may not be true In the case of vernacular of your different sections, but It holds In the language of diplomacy. And it may please your people to know that American statesmen are no less elo Quent than British orators. The speech of these two sets of English speaking people is essentially the same. Your slang may be more picturesque-more tricky. In fact but slang, of course, does not occur In the speech of diplomats." ife Givem To Language. Prof. Camerlynck's record Is inter esting. He has for years been asso cated with the University of Paris. During the war he was at the front as interpreter between the French and British army officials. He was later attached to the Eighty-ninth Ameri can Infantry. His whole life has been devoted to the study of languages. concentrating on English, with Ger man, Italian, and Spanish on the side. After the armistice he acted as In terpreter for several commissions, particularly that on war criminals, being asoiated with Robert Lansing, former Secretary of State, and James Brown Scott, of Washington, repre sentatives of the United States. He was promoted to Interpreter for the Council of Five and later the Coun eil of Ten, composed of foreign min isters, He has since been the official interpeter of the Supreme Council of the les, having accumulated a vast experience in International discussions at Paris, London, Spa and Geneva.

SEAL COATS '69 I Black Fox Searts *18 DRV MEN FER IWO L RS IN BIE PLOT Head of Local Dry Foros. DI. clares Attorneys Are Trying To "Frame" His Agents. Two Washington lawyers are facing a charge of conspiracy, according ts prohibition agents attached to the Washington office. The officers charge the lawyers are trying to get affidavits from men who have fallen into the clutches of dry agents, to the effect that prohibition agents have accepted bribes. The action of the lawyers is said to have grown out of the recent arrest of Patrick Bligb, proprietor of a near-beer saloon, on a charge of attempting to bribe M. 0. Eckstein. a general agent of the prohibition forces. It i. charged that the two lawyers have been soliciting evidence from prohibition law offenders in an effort to get testimony thar prohibition agents have accepted bribes. The agents say they learned of the law yers' efforts last week and have taken the matter up with the legal division of the prohibition bureau with a view of proceeding against them. Washington prohibition agents, ac cording to H. R. Stephenson, agent in charge, have been particularly free from any suspicion of accepting bribes and said his office will go the limit in prosecuting the lawyers who are trying to fasten the stigma of bribery on any of his force without reasonable grounds.
